“Smash Into You” (Beyonce)
Now, Beyonce has a wonderfully amazing voice that has pretty much always seemed to grab the attention of the listener whenever one of her songs was played on the radio. But nothing has compared to the song, “Smash Into You”, which was played at the end of the film …

Will Smith simply explores the themes of partying,family and having a good time without resorting to talking about violence or sexually explicit topics.The standout tracks are “Act Like You Know”,”1000 Kisses”,”Momma Knows”,and …
Chasing Dixie
Everyone - I’m excited to review a new music group that includes Alaina Whitaker, Andrea Young, and Erin James; yup, Alaina is the Alaina from American Idol ! I wouldn’t compare them to the Dixie Chicks; though they have a similar name and numbers in the group. Alaina has …
Wild Mood Swings, 1996 Album by The Cure
I think that this album is very interesting. I think that this album is significantly underestimated. I personally find many ways in which this album is more interesting than the 1992 release called Wish.
I remember how I first got acquainted with this album. I was told by a friend …
Amy Winehouse-Back To Black
This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …
The Mighty Rio Grande, song by This Will Destroy You
I have always been the kind of person who admires music. Not only is it an art, it finds a way into your soul. Music is able to be related to and in the moment when you find a certain song, you feel like you are no longer alone …
Muse - United States Of Eurasia (Song)
United States Of Eurasia (+ Collateral Damage) is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. For those of you who have heard this track then I’m sure you can agree with me when I say that it seems like Queen had a good …
Muse - Undisclosed Desires (Song)
Undisclosed Desires, a recent track off of Muse’s newest record The Resistance, is a song which I have been playing over and over on loop for about the past two days because I simply just can’t get over it, and therefore I felt a review on it would be …
One Direction - Perfect (Song )
Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …
Eminem - Hailie’s Song (Song)
Hailie’s Song is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Eminem Show. Opening up with a brief drum bit, a clean guitar soon comes in and a listener gets the impression right away that the instrumentation and overall feel on this track is far different than …
Bone Thugs “Ressurection” cd
The Bone Thugs “Ressurection” cd is one which was long awaited by Bone Thugs fan when the group announced that they had broken up in 1999. It was thought that the cd would never come out but this was not the case, Ressurection was released IN 2000 to awaiting …

Scars On Broadway - Universe (Song)
Universe is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their debut record, Scars On Broadway. Universe opens with an electric guitar riff which I would describe as sort of a driving lead which goes nicely into a drum pattern played by Dolmayan before picking up in terms …
Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side II)
Overview - Side II of The Wall by Pink Floyd is a huge improvement after side I, which wasn’t terrible but at the same time it didn’t really make me too eager to hear the rest of the album. Side II just had better songwriting overall, and although there …
Korn Untouchables
This is Korns 5th album, produced this time by Korn, and Michael Beinhorn, this is the first album not to include bagpipes, and not much rap thankfully. This album doesn’t have the heavy feel as the others, they used some new techniques on this one to create a creepy …
Vol.3 (The Subliminal Verses), Slipknot Album
I think that this album is a disappointment. I started listening to this album as soon as it was released, in 2004. And even then I immediately disliked what I heard. The music simply did not impress me then. I felt untouched and uninterested by the music I heard. …
If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna
I think that If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna is so lame sounding and totally out of tune. I love both of them in terms of their music individually but this collaboration just aren’t them. It made them sounding like they are …
Sarah Brightman
I don’t know how I can exactly describe it but when I listen to Sarah Brightman’s song, it seems you are immersed in very cold water. As if the water has ice all over. Her voice is …
Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ is the new song from Kelly Clarkson. First time I hear this single, I didn’t realize that this is Kelly Clarkson’s song because its sounds a little bit different for me.
This song is still bring the pop rock melodic, but I think this …
Metallica - (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth
Overview —“ (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth is the fifth song on the first album released by Metallica which strikes me as an extremely strange move to even include this song on their debut record. For those of you who don’t know what this track is, this will become very clear …
Bob Dylan - Bunkhouse Theme (Song)
Bunkhouse Theme is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on the soundtrack for the film Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid. One thing I should mention is that the track is an instrumental which certainly isn’t a style of songwriting that is associated with Bob Dylan, although I’d …
The Offspring Smash Album
This album is the album that allowed The Offspring to enjoy mainstream success, and for good reason! This is easily one of their best albums with some of their best songs. This album and Americana are my absolute favorites from this band. This album has some really classic stuff …
Evanescence
I have been a fan of the band Evanescence for a very long time. I love everything about them. The music is amazing and their style reflects it. And even with many band member changes, Evanescence never seizes to amaze me. Their live performances are incredible and will never …
Boyfriend Number 2 by Pleasure P
I’ve been listening to Pleasure P’s Boyfriend Number 2 on YouTube for a while now and it has been my favorite song of his. I’m not a go out and buy posters type of girl, but I do like listening to Pleasure P’s music and I was even more …
Metallica And Lou Reed - Brandenburg Gate (Song)
Brandenburg Gate is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the opening track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with an incredibly melodic and harmonious guitar part, Reed comes in with the vocal performance for the track after a pretty short amount of time. I will …
Mountain-Mississipi Queen (song)
A very popular song in today’s rock standards would definitely have to be Mississipi Queen by the band Mountain. This song just has a great punch to it and it’s a really good song while im just cruising in the car. It’s meant to be played loud! The …
Michelle Branch
WHen I was younger in my earlier years of high school, I had just gone into an alternative rock phase. I think that was about the same time which a new alernative rock singer named Michelle Branch emerged upon the scene. I liked her since I thought her songs …
Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up by Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks put together a couple of party songs during his career. Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up is one of them. Partying in the country generally means that you aren’t going to stop until you see daylight. You may not even stop then. That is what …
The White Stripes - Little Ghost (Song)
Little Ghost is a song by The White Stripes which appears on their album Get Behind Me Satan. The track opens up with a simple rhythm which features some outside instrumentation and also has the vocals join in the track pretty much immediately as well. What I like immediately …
Tegan And Sara - The Con
These canadian twins are out with their fifth album in 10 years. It seems like they’ve grown back into the source of their rockish first 3 albums as their last “So Jealous” was more pop oriented. Now, you have to make the separation between the two girls when you …
Lyon by Washburn Beginner Acoustic Guitar
As a beginner, I had no idea what kind of guitar to get. Target was selling a beginner’s kit that included an acoustic guitar, case, instructional DVD, and extra strings, as well as a small pack of picks. It retailed for $100 but was on sale for …
Josef K Entomology
Josef K were a short-lived four-piece post-punk band. The paranoia and brittleness implicit in their namesake, the protagonist in Frank Kafka’s “The Trial” was echoed by their sound. They played spare, taut, danceable discount funk. For those looking for comparison, this can be likened to Fear of Music era …
Bob Dylan - Sara (Song)
Sara is a song by Bob Dylan which is the final track on his album Desire. I’ll be honest and admit right now that this is one of my favorite Dylan songs throughout his entire catalogue. The track starts off with a somewhat ominous tone before leading into a …
Baby (Video) by Justin Bieber
Baby is the third single of Justin Bieber from the album My World 2. It became number one in France, Canada, United Kingdom, Norway and Japan. This song is right on time produce as Justin is now in the midst of his popularity and another memorable song like this …
I Got A Feeling by The Blackeyed Peas
The song I got a feeling is a great song in my opinion. This is for a few reasons. One is that it is a song that is very easy to listen to. Another is that the beat is something fun and easy to hum or sing. And finally, …
Did I shave my leggs for this?
Did I shave my legs for this? Is a comical song by Deanna Carter. It is a comical song about a subject that is common in America today. In the song she is basically complaining about how her husband sits around all day long watching TV and drinking beer. …
Alan Jackson: When Somebody Loves You CD
I’m not sure why I have the Alan Jackson: When Somebody Loves You CD. I don’t remember buying it, but I just found it, still in its wrapping to be truthful, so however I got it, I’ve never listened to it until this evening. Very strange to …
Kanye West
If this is graduation it’s from a 2 year school. The sampling and tired metaphors from kanye west is old. Rap is about bravado but kanye is that times ten. He not only tell u he’s the best at rapping every other sentence he also mentions he’s the best …
Ahmad Jamal : Macanudo
Ahmad Jamal, one of jazz musicians who came from the United States, play songs in Latin swing rhythm on this album. There is no information about who musicians that accompany the album. The information obtained and is only that Ahmad Jamal accompanied with the orchestra, led by Richard Evans. …
MGMT (band)
I’ll start by saying there are relatively few contemporary artists, emerging in the past few years, that I’ve taken much interest in. By and large, I’m much more inclined to listen to older records and artists than newer ones-which may be odd, since I’m only 25 and the majority …
Katy Perry: Thinking Of You (song)
Thinking of you: is a heartfelt song filled with love felt words could bring a tear to your eye. The lyrics are full of metaphoric sentences throughout the whole song, like most of Katy Perry songs. Katy Perry’s voice holds so much emotion that I cried almost on each …
Tool Undertow
Tool’s 1993 album Undertow is not only my favorite Tool album it may be my favorite album period. Intolerance is a heavy riffing straight up metal song, on Prison Sex they drop the low E to a B to get the extra crunch of the song, the lyrics like …
Pearl Jam Ten
Pearl Jam busted on the scene with a new sound and simplified fashion sense that was a far cry from the spandex and big hair days.Their music dealt with darker themes that invoked emotional response from each listener.Pearl Jam has went on to do great things in music but …
Aerosmith ‘Music From Another Dimension!’ album
Released in November 2012, “Music From Another Dimension!” is Aerosmith’s 15th studio album and the first since their last album released back in 2004 titled “Honkin’ On Bobo”. This latest album features 15 brand new songs and is full of great material that I think will be …
CD American Idiot
The CD American Idiot by Green Day is a rock music album that insults the Bush administration in every song without ever saying his name. Lyrics such as “another protester has crossed the line to find the money’s on the other side”, “the company lost the war today”, …
Abba Gold (Greatest Hits)
Abba has been one of my most favorite groups in the world of music. Their Greatest Hits collection has 19 of the best tracks ever recorded. From Dancing Queen to Waterloo, you will be overwhelmed with rich and powerful music with hours of enjoyment. Polar Music International did not …
Radiohead - Bullet Proof… I Wish I Was (Song)
Bullet Proof—¦ I Wish I Was is a song by Radiohead which appears on their second record, The Bends. The song opens up with some noise effects before an acoustic guitar pattern comes in and Yorke ultimately comes in for the first verse of the track. Yorke’s vocal delivery …
Lady Gaga (performer)
It seemingly happened overnight, but the incredible success of Lady Gaga in the music entertainment world is pretty hard to avoid being at least marginally aware of at this point. She has become a mega-celebrity, hailed as a shape-shifting, provocative pop musical genius along the lines of Madonna, if …
